Memories Prepared

Now I pack my tree

Like someone who knows house fires

No time to debate

Is it just me or is anyone else getting nervous about flying here in the US?

Today has been a long freaking year.

Sigh... I feel the need to purge my life again. When things get anxious around me, I start getting rid of stuff. I didn't count today's item but I think it was around 300 items for the final tally. Let's see what tomorrow brings

It really depends on who you follow. If you follow some of the art ones or other interests, you'll see less of the anxiety. Another thing is to check in on the quiet posters. You tend to get more friends in that area.

Follow the video thread here. It's a much more Instagram type of experience

yep

Same girl same.

Like I should be extra kind to add balance to the universe. Except to those guys... F***those guys.

Problem 2: the difficulty in finding your friends on this network. My senior mother already gave up. She doesn't want to be involved with those other platforms, but this doesn't provide the same friends experience.

@mcuban.bsky.social The thing that is missing is the original reason for social networks. People want to connect with their friends, family, and "community" in a meaningful way too. There needs to be a better way to have "groups" on a network like Blue Sky where there is some element of "privacy".

@mcuban.bsky.social What do you say we revive Myspace from a music platform to social network to replace FB? I mean wouldn't that be great poetic justice? All the Millennials would already know how to use it. It would accommodate all the social network voids that FB fills.

When I see something bad or scary happening out there right now, I've made a commitment to myself to do something good in the world in the sphere of influence that I have. Damn, I'm busy today doing good.

When you work in non-profit weekends often feel busier than the work week

I feel like we are all on space mountain. We know the drop and the twists and turns are going to happen, but damned if we know which one it's going to be or when.

Switching to BlueSky is a lesson in how many times my thumb defaults to hitting FB out of habit.

Definitely. You are one of my earliest follows on here. I say you laugh or you cry. I prefer laughter. I'm hoping BlueSky picks up some of the instagramish reels features.

A time that I notice Oscar's absence the most is when I go to the fridge to get a slice of cheese. Before I could even get the slice out and the bag closed he was always standing right behind me waiting. It's so weird to turn around and not see him.

New here and looking for accounts to follow? You can start with following Woodinville Repertory Theatre. Is there anything there yet? no, but that will be changing shortly. bsky.app/profile/wood...

Well, looks like I should get used to posting here more frequently.

Let's get this party started!
